This has been with Paypal since 2008, but is a brand new thing on eBay.  Currently, the company is offering $5.00 on purchases if you sign up with them through said purchases. (This goes until October 31st.) It seems like a good idea, but the 20% thing is making me reconsider.

What do you guys think?  Should I go for it?

No. This is one of marketings biggest rip-offs ;) It's a lot better to pay at once, since it'll cost a hell of a lot more to pay 20% over for example a computer. Definitely not a good deal, unless you are really in need of something and don't have the money at that moment.

That's like a credit card with a bad interest rate.  Avoid at all costs and pay up front.  If you can't do that, then you never had the money to buy it with in the first place. ;)

Already made the decision.  Not going for it!  It's a bad thing I'm not falling for. :)
